Morocco’s National Tourism Office (ONMT) announced Ryanair’s largest-ever winter flight program for the country, expanding air connectivity with Europe ahead of the 2026 winter season.
According to the ONMT, Ryanair will operate 156 routes to and from Morocco during the Winter 2026 season, including 17 new routes from Agadir, Marrakech and Rabat bases . The airline will offer 5.3 million seats and connect Morocco with 14 European countries with 16 based aircraft with 2 additional aircraft added serving a total of 13 Moroccan airports.
Ryanair’s CEO, Eddie Wilson, said “Ryanair is delighted to announce our biggest ever Winter schedule for Morocco, delivering 5.3m low-fare seats across 156 routes, including 17 exciting new routes and the opening of our new Rabat base for Winter. This latest investment brings Ryanair’s Morocco operation to 16 based aircraft, representing a US$1.6bn investment and supporting over 8,500 local jobs. Morocco has become one of Ryanair’s fastest growing and most important markets. Our record Winter 2026 schedule will boost year-round connectivity across the Kingdom, drive inbound tourism from across Europe, support regional economic development, and help deliver Morocco’s ambitious tourism growth strategy ahead of the 2030 FIFA World Cup. We thank the Moroccan National Tourist Office, in addition to the Moroccan Government and ONDA for their continued partnership and shared ambition to grow Morocco’s tourism sector. Ryanair remains committed to further long-term investment in Morocco, and we look forward to continuing to grow traffic, aircraft and routes, bringing even more visitors, connectivity and low fares to communities across the Kingdom.”
The Moroccan Government stated “This record-breaking program illustrates the strength of the partnership between the ONMT and Ryanair in driving the competitiveness of Morocco as a destination. By developing air capacity, opening new routes, and bringing the regions closer to major European markets, it helps make air connectivity a major lever for tourism growth and territorial development.”
